Silence on Set

Sam Claflin is one of the sweetest people we have had on the show. During non-stop promotion for Daisy Jones and The Six and nomination announcements -- Claflin made time to talk to me about some of his most beloved roles (Me Before You, Adrift, Love Rosie) and what it took for him to become Billy Dunne in Prime Video's hit, Daisy Jones & The Six. Claflin has a massive smile as he answers questions openly and honestly. Whenever I compliment him, he humbly finds a way to gear that toward someone involved in the project. He values his work and loves that people want to see the work he has done. Claflin talks about reuniting with the cast, behind-the-scenes videos on social media, and his next project, and leaves a message for his fans.

Manifest star, Daryl Edwards sat down to have an introspective on his career, how impactful Manifest has become, the importance of loving one another and saying goodbye to a show he has come to love. Edwards spent extra time ensuring he could answer questions and break down that epic finale. We talk about the importance of family, bonding on the loss of family members -- and at one point, get emotional. Edwards, who didn't want to say goodbye to Manifest, also tells fun stories behind the scenes, how he and Josh Dallas (among the entire cast) became family and when he knew they were all bonded for life.

Synopsis:

The crew and passengers were relieved when Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight.

Now, faced with the impossible, they're all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds, and some of the returned passengers soon realize they may be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible.

McCormack adds in how much fun she has playing a badass and being an integral part of women being represented and heard this season.

J.R. Ramirez came on to discuss the finale ten episodes of the fan-beloved series, Manifest. Ramirez, who plays Jared, was excited to talk about the show but said it was bittersweet to say goodbye to some of his closest friends. We spoke about how his character has changed over the seasons, how grateful he was to be a part of something so massive, and his love for all of his castmates. We eventually get into the nitty-gritty of the final few episodes, including one of the most epic finales to hit Netflix in a long time. While we got emotional about saying goodbye, Ramirez kept smiling like a sunbeam. His performance is outstanding. He is honestly one of the kindest people. He is authentic, honest, caring, and funny. We also discussed if he was happy with the ending, precisely those last few scenes. It was a true joy.

Josh Dallas, one of our favorite guests of all time, sat with me again to discuss the final ten episodes of Manifest. We spoke about how Ben Stone has developed, the importance of humanity, every moment of the series finale, and what we will miss about The Stones. Not going to lie; there were emotions. For this podcast, I wore my headpiece to honor his previous hit #OnceUponATime, so he found something special to represent Ben Stone and #Manifest one final time.

Director and writer, David Stassen, along with actor and writer Ike Barinholtz, have reunited again to bring one of the most hilariously funny and highly satirical films to the big screen this year, Maximum Truth. This project adds to a list of hilarious projects the two have worked on together, including The Mindy Project and, more recently, History of The World: Part II. David and Ike are two of the smartest and funniest people I know. It was a joy to reconnect with them again. I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt!

The two of them are geniuses and have proven that time and time again. Enjoy the three of us making fun of one another, talking inside jokes, me hitting on Ike as usual (all in good fun), and us laughing our way through discussing this film. It was also fun to hear how much was improvised and their love for Dylan O'Brien.

We spoke to Freddie Dennis from Netflix's latest hit, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. This is a spin-off/prequel of the successful Netflix original series Bridgerton. Dennis plays Reynolds, who works for the King and secretly has a relationship with the Queen's man, Brimsley (Sam Clemmett). While the series focuses on Queen Charlotte and King George (their initial meeting, marriage, and such) -- Reynolds and Brimsley became fan favorites as they had to hide their relationship. It's the first LGBTQIA+ story told in the Bridgerton world, and Dennis said he could not be more honored to be a part of it. While Dennis gave a lot of credit to his fellow actors, the writers, and the crew of the show -- he went into detail on how he decided to play Reynolds, the conversations he had with Sam to make sure they were getting it right, and some of his favorite scenes to shoot. We also talk about the graceful hand-touching scene (with no dialogue) that happens (if you know, you know). Dennis is one of the easiest people to connect with -- before we hit record, we chatted about where each of us was, how it was sunny in London, and just about life in general. Dennis is exceptionally humble and fights every compliment I give him. However, I think I got through in the end. After dissecting his character, we both spoke about what he is up to now and if there will be a second season of Queen Charlotte that we desperately want.
